I've been following these forums pretty regularly since my application went in for my LTC. It was my first time applying and I wanted to provide my timeline below for anyone interested!
12/06 - Took CHL class
12/10 - Completed finger printing and submitted CHL-100 form online
12/15 - Received confirmation email on documents
01/14 - Made my first phone call and was told they had not yet processed my CHL-100 due to the amount of applicants and to call back in 2 weeks
01/26 - Followed up with DPS and was told my information had been moved to a background check and to allow up to 4 weeks for processing
02/03 - Called again (like everyone I am excited and impatient), I was told my application came back approved that morning and was being sent to print and to allow 10-14 days for the license to arrive in the mail.
Good luck everyone on the wait and I look forward to carrying soon!
